The Jamaica Kingsmen will take on the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Match 6 of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Friday, August 14. 

The Kingsmen, making their debut in the tournament, have started their season with two successive losses. This will be their third match of the season. They started off with a loss to the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, who chased down a total of 168 in a nervy two-wicket win. They were then beaten by the Barbados Tridents in a five-run loss chasing 207. With both their games going down to the wire, the new team will be looking for the final push which takes them to their first win.

Guyana Amazon Warriors come into the tournament late after winning the 2026 Global Super League T20 tournament, a collective of the best T20I sides in the world. They beat the San Francisco Unicorns in the final, defending a total of just 85 to win by just six runs. Led by captain Imrah Tahir and possessing a wealth of domestic and international star players like Shimron Hetmyer, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Glenn Phillips and Romario Shepherd, they have all the tools to go on and successfully defend their crown.
